I think these a limitation of xgettext used to generate the pot files.
Both are similar defined:
timezone/zic.c
# msgid "\"%s\", line %"
487 fprintf(stderr, _("\"%s\", line %"PRIdLINENO": "), filename, linenum);
# msgid " (rule from \"%s\", line %"
490 fprintf(stderr, _(" (rule from \"%s\", line %"PRIdLINENO")")
And 'PRIdLINENO' is defined as
50 typedef intmax_t lineno;
51 #define PRIdLINENO PRIdMAX
Which means we will get different string encodings depending of how
__PRI64_PREFIX is defined by the ABI.
Both changes came from '92bd70fb' (Update timezone code from tzcode 2017b.) and
from original tz project it seems to get from cc8aec6ecb1ecc (zic: some
integer-width fixups). TZ commit log seems to indicate this is just a integer
cleanup without original from an actual bug or limitation.
Paul I think we can use default %d for ints for these two specific printf to
make translation work as intended. What do you think?
